54 hares or birds have been hit or run-over by planes at Dublin Airport this year.
That's significantly down on 2018.
Pilots have reported forty three bird strikes at Dublin Airport so far this year.
While eleven hares that live in grassy areas along the runways have been run over.
A number of measures have been introduced to cut down on animal deaths.
They include using nets to capture them and setting off flare guns to scare animals off.
Dublin Airport says 44 hares were caught and released elsewhere this year.
55 were culled last year, although the DAA says this is always a last resort.
